When python is cross-compiled for android with --enable-shared, the following error occurs:

# python -c "import socket"
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread

This also occurs when importing subprocess, asyncore or asyncio but not when importing posix (not a shared library).  This is fixed by building python without soname versioning, although I have no idea why a problem with the android loader would cause this error.
Patch attached.

Some references to the android loader and soname versioning:

Python builds and runs fine on android without this patch. I cannot reproduce the 'Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread' abort either.

Closing the issue.
